Holiday

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When I was younger I used to be wild

As wild as an elephant's child

No one could hold me down

No one could keep me around

Now it's your turn, take a shot

Baby, show me everything that you got

Maybe you can keep me alive

Maybe you can get in my mind

But it's only a matter of time

Before I run far away

I need to take holiday

Maybe it's a fall from grace

I gotta find a new place

A holiday

I'll set off on a new chase

I gotta see a new face

I need to take holiday

My father, he was always wise

As wise as an elephant's eyes

He couldn't hold me down

He couldn't keep me around

So are you gonna take your shot?

It's the only one that you got

Maybe I'll go out on a limb

Maybe I'll jump in for a swim

When the lights go dim

You know I'll run far away

I need to take holiday

Maybe it's a fall from grace

I gotta find a new place

A holiday

I'll set off on a new chase

I gotta see a new face

I need to take holiday

(I need to take holiday)

A new start

I've broken too many hearts

And I don't have any clue where to go

I don't know

But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

When I was younger I used to be wild

As wild as an elephant's child

And I don't think I'll ever change

I think I'm gonna stay the same

I'll run far away

I need to take holiday (I need to take holiday)

Maybe it's a fall from grace

I gotta find a new place

A holiday

I'll set off on a new chase (Set off on a new chase)

I gotta see a new face

I need to take holiday

A new start

I've broken too many hearts

And I don't have any clue where to go

I don't know

But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday)

All of the wasted time

The hours that were left behind

The answers that we'll never find

They don't mean a thing tonight
